The Covid pandemic hit during spring break of my freshman year in high school, so I have had the opportunity to use multiple distance learning technologies. The first thing my district used was Microsoft teams and zoom. Not many of my teachers were very familiar with either of these sites being that they had no preparation time. Microsoft teams was not my favorite resource, but it got the job done effectively enough for the school district. As I have begun my college career, many of my classes have been online, and the main resource I have used is canvas. I find canvas to be really effective because of the calendar feature as well as the customizability it offers. Open education resources or OERs are online tools that improve learning and teaching experiences in the classroom, or even outside of it. One of the most known examples are kahoot, quizlet, and other flashcard or quiz-like games. On quizlet, they are many features including one where you can quiz yourself, or you can just do ...

 https://tinyurl.com/professionaldevelopmentwebsite Above is a link for a website that I like to use to find state specific professional development opportunities. This website offers a multitude of professional development techniques and sessions. This website can be very beneficial to any teacher in the state of Florida.

      Many school websites have a plethora of information available. You can typically find anything from school calendars or teachers emails, to athletic participation requirements and employment opportunities. I looked at the website of Chiles High School, which seems oriented around the success of their students. The page also emphasizes the importance of communication with the parents. There is information on parking and off campus lunch passes. This encourages a sense of individualism throughout the student body.     I intend on using many of the Microsoft applications to increase my productivity as a teacher. I plan on creating my lesson plans on word, the actual lessons on PowerPoint, and I also plan on creating excel spreadsheets to have my own copy of grades on a separate server than my work computer is on. In my educational experience, my teachers used these applications, and we were taught how to use these apps efficiently. I would like to have all of...

     The standard related to technology that stood out to me is: Evaluate the consequences of misrepresenting digital work as your own. Emphasizing doing your own work is something I plan to do from day one. Cheating or trying to pass someone else's work off as your own does not benefit anyone, not the student and definitely not the teacher. If students cheat, then they are not truly learning anything. And on the other side of that, if students are getting good grades, the teacher has no idea that their teaching techniques are not working and the students are not learning.     My favorite resource may be a little out of the box, it is the website itself. It is such a beneficial tool to have all of the state standards in one place for all teachers, k-12 to be able to find any standard they may need. This website is also beneficial because of the immense amount of resources it offers teachers in the state. This website has over thirteen thousand different resource...

 The blogging process has been very beneficial for me in the beginning stages of my teaching career. Our blog has been a good place for me to compare my teaching philosophies with others. This gives me and other students the opportunity to revise and adapt some of our future policies. During our blogging process I’ve learned just how abundant this resource is, there are blogs every, about any and everything, there is most likely always a blog that could help you. I think using AI in education can be very beneficial but at the same time, it can be extremely harmful very easily. I think the best way to avoid this would be to limit AI use to in classroom activities, and more paper assignments for tests, homework, etc. AI can be a very helpful tool when trying to develop students’ line of questioning. AI is still very new and constantly learning, you may have to mess around with the input to get the output that you want.  It was pretty fun and easy using the generative AI for one ...
